They call me Muslim

Two contrasting profiles of Muslim women who have made opposite decisions about wearing the traditional Muslim article of clothing, the Hijab. One in France has chosen to wear the hijab in defiance of French Law. The other skirts the law in Iran, by wearing it as little as possible.

""In popular Western imagination, a Muslim woman in a veil - or hijab - is a symbol of Islamic oppression. But what does it mean for women's freedom when a democratic country forbids the wearing of the veil? In this provocative documentary, filmmaker Diana Ferrero portrays the struggle of two women, one in France and one in Iran, to express themselves freely. In 2004, the French government instituted an "anti-veil law," forbidding Muslim girls from wearing the hijab to school. Samah, a teenager in Paris who, at 14 decided to wear the veil, explains how the law attacks her sense of identity and does not make her feel liberated. "Who says that freedom is not wearing anything on your head?" she asks. Half a world away in Tehran, "K," forced to wear the hijab by the Islamic regime, defiantly wears it her own way and her translucent scarf loosely draped over her hair puts her at risk of arrest. When Ferrero films her at home, K, comfortable in a tank top and shorts, says, "They call me Muslim... But do you see me as a Muslim? What do you have in your mind for a Muslim person?""
